4.0 out of 5 stars french complete course cassett tapes, January 1, 2000
This review is from: Basic French: Cassette/Book Package (LL(R) Complete Basic Courses) (Audio Cassette)
Found the tapes and coursebook extreamly helpful. I understood and remembered words and phrases in a short period of time. Pronounciation was clear, pauses between were just right to practice. The dictionary is an added bonus. Only down side was tape player ate it-- so am ordering replacement set! More "daily living" converstion would be helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars This set has given me confidence in speaking french., January 15, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic French: Cassette/Book Package (LL(R) Complete Basic Courses) (Audio Cassette)
Being a francophile, I have always wanted to really learn to speak and understand french. I had one semester of college french and thought it was impossible. But this book and the CDs that came with it really helped me to learn a great deal of french in an enjoyable way. With this set and a CD-Rom on pronunciation that I'm using, I no longer find it difficult to pronounce certain tricky french sounds and I now have confidence speaking basic sentences to french speakers. I have been complimented on my "good accent" on quite a few occasions. I can also understand many phrases and simple sentences when I watch french films now - which also boosts my confidence. The book does not explicitly teach grammar, and you learn it naturally through repeated listening and speaking. One difficiency of this set is that there isn't any listening comprehension exercises, which is a minor disappointment. Also, I find it helpful to use this set in conjuction with some exercise booklets and grammar books. In summary, you will not be fluent in french after completing this set, but you will be in pretty good shape doing things like ordering tickets, asking for directions (and giving them too), making purchases, etc. I liked this set well enough that I have ordered its sequal - "advanced french"!
